Reviews
The complimentary bread was cold, and they didn’t bother to warm it up. The appetizers were better; the chorizo was actually very good. However, the main course was disappointing. The meat smelled spoiled, and I’m not sure if it was due to how it was cooked or the quality itself, but the texture was tough and rubbery, not juicy at all, even though I ordered it medium. We were a group of eight, and although the restaurant was completely empty except for us, the service was very slow. The beans tasted like they were taken straight from a can and poured into a bowl.
The dessert was good, but overall, based on our experience, I do not recommend this restaurant.
(Top Pick) Pealla Seafood – I bought this thinking it would be a small expensive, boy was I wrong. This thing huge, the shear weight of it was astonishing. Being frugal, my partner and I had enough for 14 servings lasting 3 days!! As 30 bucks, divided by 14 is 2.14 a plate. That is extremely affordable. The taste was fantastic, not too oily, yet the rice goes down easily. The lobster was a shocker as I didnt expect that, the shrimp, clams, muscles, and scallops were there. Each serving I had was filled with seafood, so they don’t cheap out on pleasing you! Its worth it and the taste is incredible!
Ham and Cheese w/French Fries – I bought this thinking it would also be a simple snack, but the rustic style bread is extremely fresh. The ham they used was good quality and cheese was tasty. It tasted good, great quick lunch or snack for sure.
Mac and Cheese w/Shrimp – A nice pile of Mac and Cheese, the cheese was good, thought it was like canned cheese than special mixtures. But it was good, the shrimp was pentiful and good. I recommend this plate for children and fans. I wouldn’t get it again though.
Shrimp Cakes – This was very good, one shrimp in each dumpling like shape. It was like nachos with shrimp.
Pretzel – A huge pretzel with amazing generic canned fake cheese, very obvious but very fun to eat. I rely on the cheese a lot, so maybe won’t get it again, but if you like eating it plain, then its very good.
Complimentary Bread – Fresh baked bread from some bakery, worth it.
Mash Potatoes – Good mixture in the mash potatoes and taste. Nothing wild, but it was a side dish.
French Fries – I decided to give french fries its own review, it tastes great and I am not sure they add an extra coating to it, but they make it really crispy. I will always get fries here!
Overall, amazing experience and food, they know how to prepare food and I would say to come here and try out all the seafood plates! Its worth it. I wish they created their own cheese mixture, still I be a regular here!
For drinks my friend ordered the spiked arnold palmer and I got the $3 mimosas under the brunch special. For our entrées I got the chicken masala special with shrimp and scallops. My friend got the crab eggs benedict. We both enjoyed our meals. The total came to about $80 for both of us. We had a good experience and will return because it is a really cute spot in a nice location.
